Soar and Rise, when it ends

Such a tragic night, when england lost during the penalty shootout 3-1 to Portugal. Something must be seriously wrong. I mean, S. Gerrard actually MISSED penalty shot. He has NEVER missed a penalty shot before. But i have to say, they looked really nervous and not confident about having penalty shots. As for Lampard, that fella always misses the goal... Even so i dont blame him and am still quite proud of him. Substitute Carrangher wasnt any better, what a waste!!!

*sniffs* i weep with you, guys.












I think it all started when Rooney got sent off with a bright red card. (The team then lost confidence and spirit. I screamed and yelled!) The reason for that was unclear, was not explained by the referee (which i feel that he should). It's either the fault of stepping on an opponent's groin (aka the crotch) UNINTENTIONALLY, or when he pushed Ronaldo aside for barging in and speaking Spanish (i think) to referee. If you actually take the effort to watch the highlights/replay, you can see that Rooney was just trying to free himself from a Portugese sandwich, a dirrty trick! He couldnt see where the ball was, both balls i mean. And it seems like he sorta step on the wrong one.




















Aside from the fact that he's kinda butt-ugly, bulldog looking, hot-tempered, not so bright and foul english man (ahems...), i still think he is one of the excellent players. He's very dynamic. Maybe it just wasnt his match. And i still think that Ronaldo should not have provoked him on the field. There was a rumour saying that Ronaldo did whisper this in Rooney's ear before the match began, "I'm going to get you sent off..." I think it's a rumour. But Rooney saying that he will f****** sort Ronaldo out is no rumour alright! Now Ronaldo is going to have a hard time returning back to England, and Manchester U. He might get bashed up by all the hard-core England fans.

Oh, and if you watch the replay during the 62nd minute, you can see that Ronaldo gave a sly wink to his bench after Rooney got sent off. Which obviously showed his true intentions. What a f****** jerk i say!!!

















Oh, and before that 62nd minute incident (Rooney vs Ronaldo), Beckham was substituted by Lennon, which was a wise choice. I think he hurt his ankle and couldnt play no more. One thing i didnt like was him weeping on the bench. He didnt have faith in his team, and that's just a let-down for his team mates and his fans. Anyway, Lennon was really good! He was fast, quick, and furious xD. He almost scored a few times, really closed ones. One shot by him bounced off the goalkeeper's leg, lucky one (i think so, i can't really remember cause i watch too many matches). Good try, Lennon!

And i have something to say about Crouch. He's a tall unstable wobbly stickman! All he did was either trip an opponent, or slip and fall. BUT, i dont blame him for England's lost. Just that he could have tried harder.

Sad, devasted... I'm such a die-hard fan, plus being England's supporter isnt easy at all! You can never predict if they can win or lose a match. Their formation wasnt fixed and consistent. And they can be really good at times. So the suspense is always there, not a good thing for blood pressure you know! Overall, i find that they played well. For a 10-men game and managed to hold the game till penalty shootout shows that Portugal isnt good, it's just that England isnt good ENOUGH. I press on that one! But throw no blames on England, they did their best. They practised hard for penalty shootouts but during that time there was nothing that can be done. Thumbs up, England!!

Now that England is done. It's France to put hopes on now. Trash Portugal's ass!!!
